Server Management Network for System with Maximum 36 Nodes, No BYNET Cabinets
![]()
- This configuration is built on the cabinet and collective topology defined in Collectives.
- This configuration illustrates topology for two to five cabinets. Configurations using a 36-port BYNET V5 InfiniBand switch can scale up to five cabinets.
- Each processing/storage cabinet shown above represents a collective. The collective may include Platform Framework Cabinets (not shown).
- The path for the primary network runs:
From the following: To the following primary Ethernet switches: VMS Cabinet 1 The primary Ethernet switch in Cabinet 1 Cabinets 2, 3, and 4 The primary Ethernet switch in Cabinet 3 Cabinet 5 - The path for the secondary network runs:
From the following: To the following secondary Ethernet switches: VMS Cabinet 1 The primary Ethernet switch in Cabinet 2 Cabinets 1, 3, and 4 The primary Ethernet switch in Cabinet 4 Cabinet 5 - Separate primary and secondary paths ensure network redundancy.
- If the system is included in a UDA environment, ports are reserved on the primary and secondary server management switches for UDA connections to the other system or systems in the UDA environment. These UDA connections are not shown in the illustration above. For more information, see the Teradata Unified Data Architecture InfiniBand and Server Management Configuration Guide, B035-6001.
